I enjoy making outfits in GW2! [Screens]

I wanted to post to see if there were any others out there like me who enjoy creating outfits for their toons in GW2. I've always had an itch for aesthetics in RPGs. I like to give my characters some life and color. A lot of people simply like their avatar to represent the sum of all their achievements in game, and I get that. They deck them out in t3, then dye it a mixture of Abyss and Celestial, then swing around a legendary. But I don't feel like that always looks the best on the character.

I'd really like to see any other outfits people have made for their characters!

Hello there, Fancy Fool! Nice outfits that you created, though I must say I'm partial to the gray one. I know what you mean, I've seen some people just put on what seems to be a menagerie of the most expensive things they can find - regardless of whether or not it comes together or contributes to their character's flavor. Of course, it's a matter of opinion - perhaps all those things are just really what they prefer the look of the most. Whatever floats one's boat!

I've always loved to put outfits together in any MMO that lets me do so (e.g., GW1) and now I play GW2 with someone who likes to do the same - my husband. I would excitedly post some of my outfits here, but I've already posted some of them in other threads and people might get fed up with my redundancy.

Instead, I shall post some of them here in the form of friendly little spoiler-clickables:

I really like the Ranger Ash. He has this rugged aesthetic going on with the dapper green coat. And there's something about the swashbuckler facial hair that goes right in with that saber. The gray one is actually my newest and I do like it :3 It's actually Olive Tint so I could get that darker gray on the other half of the skirt and blend with her skin better. It's cool because it really makes the gold/illumination/antique gold pop in game.

Hrmm. Squirrel. I like the outfit. The boots really depend on what kind of slope and size of foot you want to go with it. I'd try stately boots. I like them with the embroidered pants and they're easy to grab. As for the gloves, hrmm.. That's hard because you need something that meshes with the top and middle and flows from the shoulders. Something as long as that one, but that gets thinner closer to his hands. That said I really love the colors and wish my screenshots looked that sharp!

Mac, I like the idea of blending in the fire with something more common. Also. What do Norn men look like in the Vigil pants?
I have a variation of that red outfit I like too

Here's some of mine:

Would you mind sharing the individual pieces used in these screenies? I especially like the first and the third outfit. Good job!

Yes, of course

Hehe. Maybe I'll show my other ones sometime. I didn't want to make the first post so clunky though:

The first is my favorite for her I think since it has so many patterns going on and the colors are just awesome for her. It also has this playful, but ready hedge-mage feel to it. I think it could go well with plenty of toons.

Head: Winged HoodShoulders: Acolyte Mantle (The crafted one, not the whites you get from armour vendor)Chest: Priory GarbPants: Vigil Leggings (To get both make an alt, join desired faction. Buy armor on them. Buy cheap vendor armor. Transmute it on alt, bank it. Main can wear it. It will be account bound)Gloves: Inquest Gloves (It has metal studs to match those on the Vigil leggings, but the gloves of this set don't matter much; they're mostly covered up)Boots: Stately Boots (Karma gear from the 40ish areas I believe)

Very sharp-looking and slender! Her illusions would look like the sharpened images they are Cool little diamond at the tummy area too. She looks aggressive even with all the skin showing, which can be hard. Reminds me of Elise from League of Legends, but without the creepy

Interesting choice to go with a green scheme. How did it look with the Winged Chest?

On my mesmer, I plan to get T3 armor, not to show off, but I'd like to have a sylvari look on one of my chars and there is only TA and cultural to chose from and T3 is the only I like, at least for some parts, maybe I can mix it with some other parts.

That's actually not my Ranger post that you saw, though I'm sure the person who posted it would appreciate the compliments. Haha! Entirely my bad though, those links I posted previously led one to the page of my post and THEN scrolled down by itself after a moment to my actual post. Whoops!

Interesting choice to go with a green scheme. How did it look with the Winged Chest?

The green colour scheme was actually inspired by the box art from the original Guild Wars featuring the mesmer. As far as the Winged Tunic, I feel like it awkwardly cuts between the clavicals and the bust. Both looking a bit off as well as not working well with the mantle. I very purposefully wanted to play around with the idea of showing a lot of skin, while making it appear as not for sex appeal but as a sign of confidence. It makes me very happy that you picked up on that :3
